cause water leakage. Please check with special care.
2 The O-ring is a consumable product. Please replace it at least once a year with a new piece. Before
each use, perform the proper maintenance.
3 Deterioration of the O-ring will accelerate according to the usage conditions and the storage
conditions. Immediately replace the O-ring with a new piece if it is damaged, cracked, or has lost its
elasticity.
4 During maintenace of O-ring, clean the inside of the O-ring groove and confirm the absence of dirt,
dust, sand, and other foreign matter.
5 Apply the specified silicon O-ring grease to the O-ring.
6 The waterproof function is not effective if the O-ring is not installed correctly. When installing the O-
ring, take care that it does not project from the groove and that it is not twisted. Also, when sealing
the Case, close the lid after confirming that the O-ring has not come out of the groove.
7 This product is an airtight construction made of plastic (polycarbonate). When it is left for a long time
in a car, on a boat, at the beach, or at other places reaching a high temperature, or when it is
subjected to uneven external force for a long time, it may be deformed and the waterproof function
may be lost. Pay sufficient attention to temperature control. Also do not place heavy objects onto the
product during storage or transport, and avoid unreasonable storage.
8 When the O-ring contact surface is pressed strongly from the outside of the Case, or when the Case
is twisted, the waterproof function may be lost. Take care not to exert excessive force.
9 Please use the Case only after performing the advance test and the final check.
0 If you detect any signs of leakage, such as water drops or fogging, while photographing, get out of
the water immediately and remove any moisture from the camera and the Case. Then perform the

2. Advance check of the Case
Advance test before use
This Case has been the subject of thorough quality control for the parts during the manufacturing
process and thorough function inspections during the assembly. In addition, a water pressure test is
performed with a water pressure tester for all products to confirm that the performance conforms to the
specifications.
However, depending on the carrying and storage conditions, the maintenance status, etc., the
waterproof function may be damaged.
Before diving, always perform the following advance test and the water leakage test after installation of
the camera.
Check the waterproof parts of the Case
Check the waterproof parts of the Case as described below.
1 Ensure that the Case’s O-rings are firmly attached and secured with the buckle.
2 Ensure that the separately available Waterproof Port is installed correctly, and that the Waterproof
Port is attached firmly to the O-ring between the Waterproof Port and Case.
3 Ensure that the O-ring of the TTL cable connector is attached firmly and that the cap is screwed into
the connector without loosening.
Advance test
1 Before loading the digital camera in the Case, immerse the empty Case at depth you intend to use it
and make sure there is no water leakage.
2 Main causes of water leakage are as follows.
Forgetting to install the O-ring
Part of an O-ring or an entire O-ring is outside the specified groove.
O-ring damage, cracks, deterioration or deformation
Sand, fibers, hair or other foreign matter sticking to the O-ring, the O-ring groove or the O-ring
contact surface.
Damage to an O-ring groove or O-ring contact surface.
Attached strap or silica gel getting caught when closing the Case.
Perform the test after the above causes have been eliminated.
CAUTION:
The most suitable method for checking water leakage is to immerse the Case to the intended water depth.
When this is difficult, water leakage also can be checked at a shallow depth with no water pressure. Do not
feel that this is troublesome, but perform this test.
If the advance test should show water leakage with normal handling, stop using the Case and contact your
dealer or an Olympus service station.

3. Installing the digital camera
Check the digital camera.
Check the digital camera before loading it in the Case.
Battery Confirmation
Underwater shooting can reduce battery life because the picture has to be checked on the LCD monitor
before and after shooting. Make sure that you have sufficient remaining battery capacity before use.
Check the remaining number of pictures
Check that the image storage medium has enough room for the number of pictures you want to take.
Note:
In order to avoid missing photo opportunities due to an exhausted battery, you should always have a fully
charged battery before each dive.
Remove the strap, strap suspension
crowns, and lens cap from the camera.
